The egg is now 70 days old. Visual checks for Signal Station Trig egg start in 3 days’ time on the 23rd of January.
Kamēr mēs gaidām izšķilšanos, šeit ir īss video, lai atgādinātu, kāpēc albatross ir visas tubenozes sugas:While we are waiting for hatching to begin, here is a short video to remind us why albatross are all tubenose species:
Papildināt mūsu augošo citu sugu sarakstu Royalcam šeit ir Sarkanadmirāļu tauriņš, par kuru nobalsoja 2024. gada BUG.To add to our growing list of other species on Royalcam here is a Red Admiral butterfly, voted Bug of the Year 2024.
(GT)Satellite Tracking
Royalcam adults have been tagged this season. Geo Positioning Tags (GPS) are very light weight and are cable tied to the strong back feathers between the wings. They will fall off after around a year when these feathers are moulted. We will receive the data via satellite so do not need to retrieve the device to see the information that it has gathered of the bird’s whereabouts. We hope to gain foraging location insights from the data.
The latest foraging trip of RLK/KA85 has been much closer to Pukekura than his first tagged trip when he went around Rekohū. In the last 5 days he has travelled around 170 km and spent a lot of time just 30 km for Pukekura (see the red dot marked 116 below).
